MEDIA RELEASE FROM WRITER AND DIRECTOR WOODY ALLEN “A comedy peppered with splendid performances” Screen Daily Young stars Timothée Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name) and Elle Fanning (The Neon Demon) head an all- star cast in Woody Allen’s charming New York-set romantic comedy. A Rainy Day in New York tells the story of college sweethearts, Gatsby (Timothée Chalamet) and Ashleigh (Elle Fanning), whose plans for a romantic weekend together in the city are dashed as quickly as the sunlight turns into showers. When Ashleigh gets an assignment from the school paper to interview celebrated film director Roland Pollard (Liev Schreiber) in Manhattan, Gatsby seizes the opportunity to show small-town girl Ashleigh his favourite haunts in his home city. However, Gatsby’s well-laid plans are quickly side-tracked when Pollard whisks Ashleigh away on a head-spinning series of encounters that lead her from the director to screenwriter Ted Davidoff (Jude Law) to movie star Francisco Vega (Diego Luna). Left to his own devices in the city, Gatsby ends up spending the day with Chan (Selena Gomez), the sharp- witted younger sister of his ex-girlfriend, attending parties and having his own life-changing conversations and encounters. Through this series of chance meetings and comical adventures the pair discover that while you only live once, once is enough if you find the right person. A Rainy Day in New York sees writer and director Woody Allen (Manhattan, Annie Hall) return to the romantic comedy field of previous hits Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Midnight in Paris, assembling an all- star cast including Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Selena Gomez (Spring Breakers), Jude Law (Closer), Diego Luna (Rogue One) and Liev Schreiber (Spotlight) for a charming, sizzling and comedic tale set amid the fast-paced, dizzying streets of The Big Apple.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK GRAVIER PRODUCTIONS, INC., and Case No. __________ WOODY ALLEN, Plaintiffs, COMPLAINT – against – AMAZON CONTENT SERVICES, LLC, and AMAZON STUDIOS, LLC, Defendants. Plaintiffs Gravier Productions, Inc. (“Gravier”) and Woody Allen (together with Gravier, “Plaintiffs”), by and through their attorneys, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, bring this Complaint against Defendants Amazon Content Services, LLC (“Amazon Content”) and Amazon Studios, LLC (“Amazon Studios” and, together with Amazon Content, “Amazon”), and allege as follows: NATURE OF THE CASE 1. Woody Allen is one of the most critically acclaimed, iconic, and successful filmmakers in the history of motion pictures. Mr. Allen has made more than 50 films, earning honors and accolades around the world and generating substantial international box office receipts. Mr. Allen’s combination of criticalDeadline and commercial success as a writer and director for over five decades is unparalleled in the film industry. Seeking to capitalize on Mr. Allen’s international stature, talent, and track record, Amazon—a technology giant but Hollywood novice—sought to develop its nascent entertainment studio by entering into a series of deals with Mr. Allen and his company, Gravier, promising to finance and distribute his future films and to be his “home” for the rest of his career. 2. In June 2018, however, Amazon backed out of the deals, purporting to terminate them without any legal basis for doing so, while knowing that its actions would cause substantial damage to Mr. Allen, Gravier, investors and the artists and crew involved in making the films. Amazon has tried to excuse its action by referencing a 25-year old, baseless allegation against Mr.

Crítica a a Rainy Day in New York (2019)
Crítica a A Rainy Day in New York Ysidro Eduardo (2019) García Plenamar El director y guionista estadounidense Woody Allen (Nueva York, Estados Unidos, 1935) es un binomio antológico en el cine. Sin lugar a dudas, con una carrera tan prolífica que se expande por varias décadas, es uno de los cineastas esenciales de la cinematográfica contemporánea. Pero su figura como artista y persona sigue acechada por una aureola de controversias1. Este último factor se ha intensificado en estos tiempos de corrección política, tan campante en represalias y consecuencias negativas, que pudiera concebirse como una guerra contra la cultura –un tema que puede suponer un análisis propio–. La última película de Allen, A Rainy Day in New York (2019) –que comentaré más adelante– no está exenta de la polémica. La productora de la película, Amazon Studios, decidió cancelar su distribución en los Estados Unidos. Ante esto, el neoyorquino contraatacó con una demanda multimillonaria en daños y perjuicios2. La decisión de cancelar el estreno se debe más bien a adoptar una postura corporativa políticamente correcta, en sintonía con la transformación en el seno de la industria del cine, producto del movimiento del #MeToo. El fantasma del abuso sexual aún persigue a Allen, incluso después de que el estado de Nueva York realizara investigaciones independientes en las cuales no se encontraron evidencias suficientes en su contra3. Resulta trágico y personal cuando nos percatamos que su antigua familia, compuesta por la actriz Mia Farrow, su hija adoptiva Dylan Farrow, y su hijo, el periodista Ronan Farrow, son los responsables de liderar y reavivar las acusaciones4.

Deadline Case 1:19-cv-01169-DLC Document 25 Filed 04/03/19 Page 2 of 11 I. INTRODUCTION In August 2017, Defendant Amazon Content Services, LLC entered into an agreement with Woody Allen’s production company, Gravier Productions, Inc., to acquire certain rights in the next four motion pictures filmed by Allen. (Compl. ¶¶ 24-33.) Just over a month later, Allen’s son Ronan Farrow published an investigative article in The New Yorker detailing multiple reports of serious sexual misconduct by film producer Harvey Weinstein.1 The article became the catalyst for a broad public reckoning over the persistence of sexual harassment in entertainment and other industries. Despite immediate consensus on the importance of acknowledging and addressing this issue, Allen made a series of public comments suggesting that he failed to grasp the gravity of the issues or the implications for his own career. Allen expressed sympathy for Weinstein as well as his victims, describing the situation as “very sad for everybody involved.”2 Then Allen added: “You don’t want it to lead to a witch-hunt atmosphere, a Salem atmosphere, where every guy in an office who winks at a woman is suddenly having to call a lawyer to defend himself.”3 Several months later, in January 2018, Allen’s daughter Dylan Farrow recounted her memories Deadline 1 See Ronan Farrow, From Aggressive Overtures to Sexual Assault: Harvey Weinstein’s Accusers Tell Their Stories, The New Yorker (Oct.

GRATIS AMB EL JOC DE MOTS ENCREUATS QUE TROBARÀS AL DORS A Rainy Day in New York – Review Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning and Selena Gomez sparkle in Woody Allen’s washed-out romantic comedy. Allen returns to the American literary canon, this time colliding ‘The Great GatsBy’ with ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ for a contemporary riff on the facades of money and power, elevated by three terrific lead performances. Timothée Chalamet plays GatsBy Welles, student at upstate Yardley college whose autumn bash he’s desperate to avoid. His girlfriend, Ashleigh (Elle Fanning), is travelling to New York to interview filmmaker Roland Pollard for the college paper, and Gatsby, “a wannabe Sky Masterson,” has promised to show her the sights, flush with cash following a poker game. As Ashleigh arrives at an upmarket hotel to interview Liev SchrieBer’s director, the film Branches into a pair of narrative threads. GatsBy Bumps into Shannon (Selena Gomez), younger sister of an old flame, on a student film shoot, roped in to kiss her on camera just as the heavens open, while despairing and paranoid at Ashleigh’s persistent rain checks as Pollard, his writer (Jude Law) and star (Diego Luna) make passes at the naive 21-year-old journalist.

UN GIORNO DI PIOGGIA A NEW YORK regia e sceneggiatura di Woody Allen (tit.or. A Rainy Day in New York, Usa 2019) Trama. Gatsby (Timothée Chalamet) e Ashleigh (Elle Fanning) hanno deciso di trascorrere un fine settimana a New York. Lui viene da New York e non vede l’ora di mostrare alla fidanzata la sua città natale e la bellezza nostalgica dei suoi luoghi di predilezione. Lei viene da Tucson, Arizona, e si occupa del giornale della costosa università in cui si sono incontrati; in città incontrerà un regista, uno sceneggiatore e un attore, tutti famosi (Liev Schreiber, Jude Law, Diego Luna). Élite urbana e provinciale, Gatsby e Ashleigh sono complementari e innamorati. Ma a New York un giorno di pioggia rovescerà su di loro acqua e destini. Durata: 92’.

4 Bullets Over Broadway
Episode 4 - BULLETS OVER BROADWAY (1994) MUSIC: Toot Toot Tootsie - Al Jolson Introduction BULLETS OVER BROADWAY is the 23rd film written and directed by Woody Allen, first released in 1994. JOHN CUSACK stars as David Shayne, a struggling playwright who agrees to take some mob money to put on his latest play. The catch - he has to cast a mobster’s girl, and face off with her bodyguard - in more ways than one. BULLETS OVER BROADWAY is one of Woody Allen’s very best films, and it mixes so many elements that makes Allen great. The jazz era setting, the excellent costumes, the memorable characters, the big statement on the nature of art and so much more. It swept the awards season and audiences loved it too. Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages podcast, from me, the creator of the Woody Allen Pages website. This week, episode four, we look at 1994’s BULLETS OVER BROADWAY. As usual we look at how the film was made, the good and the bad, and lots of fun facts. Of course, spoilers are everywhere. Conception and story BULLETS OVER BROADWAY is the first and only writing collaboration between Woody Allen and DOUGLAS MCGRATH. McGrath was a friend and writer, and Allen has said that every so often he liked to collaborate with someone and not have the process be so lonely. He wrote with MICKEY ROSE in the 60s and 70s. He wrote with MARSHALL BRICKMAN in the 70s and on 1993’s MANHATTAN MURDER MYSTERY, the Woody Allen film that preceded this one.

Zum Hundertsten Mal Manhattan
# 2019/49 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2019/49/zum-hundertsten-mal-manhattan Die Darstellung der Frauen in Woody Allens neuem Film ist ärgerlich Zum hundertsten Mal Manhattan Von Anina Valle Wer sich an einem verregneten Novembertag auf Woody Allens »A Rainy Day in New York« einlässt, braucht starke Nerven, denn sein Film ist so belanglos wie sein Titel und gespickt mit eindimensionalen Frauenfiguren. Zahlreiche Schauspielerinnen im Alter zwischen 20 und 60 Jahren haben sich in den vergangenen Monaten zu den Missbrauchsvorwürfen gegen Woody Allen geäußert. Er soll in den neunziger Jahren seine Adoptivtochter Dylan Farrow missbraucht haben. Ganz Hollywood scheint sich in zwei Lager gespalten zu haben, die eingeschworenen Woody- Allen-Fans wie seine einstige Muse Diane Keaton und die Fraktion »Auf-keinen-Fall-dreh- ich-nochmal-was-mit-dem«. Während der Produktion von Allens neuem Film stieg der Partner Amazon wegen der erneut im Zuge von »Me too« diskutierten Vorwürfe gegen den Regisseur aus; deshalb ist »A Rainy Day in New York« in den USA auch noch nicht angelaufen. »Americans are lucky they can’t see it«, schrieb Uri Klein in der israelischen Tageszeitung Haaretz in einem Verriss. In »Blue Jasmine« von 2013 zeigte Woody Allen noch Empathie und Interesse für eine Frauenfigur. Doch in seinem neuen Film ist davon nichts mehr übrig. Im Film geht es um Gatsby (Timothée Chalamet) und Ashleigh (Elle Fanning), ein junges Pärchen, das eigentlich ein gemeinsames Wochenende in New York verbringen will, davon aber durch andere Menschen abgebracht wird, so dass sie am Ende eigene Wege gehen. Was explizit als romantische Komödie angelegt ist – Regenspaziergänge durch New York und melancholischer Jazz inklusive – und an Allens »Manhattan« von 1979 erinnert, in dem ein neurotischer Intellektueller zwischen Affären hin-und hergerissen durch New York streunt, gerät wegen des gänzlichen Fehlens von Selbstironie und der überzeichneten Darstellung seiner Frauencharaktere zur humorlosen Groteske.

"I'm not a sexual predator, I'm an 'offender,'" Jeffrey Epstein told the New York Post in 2011. "It's the difference between a murderer and a person who steals a bagel." Epstein died in a New York prison cell on 10 August as he awaited, without the chance of bail, his trial on sex trafficking charges. It came more than a decade after his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, for which he was registered as a sex offender. This time, he was accused of running a "vast network" of underage girls for sex. He pleaded not guilty. The 66-year-old in the past socialised with Prince Andrew, President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton. But who was Jeffrey Epstein? 'Terrific guy' Born and raised in New York, Epstein taught maths and physics in the city at the private Dalton School in the mid 1970s.
